We have to go back to the dink and dunk for noodle arm to complete a pass. You can forget him complete and something down the field.
Noodle arm
- Thread starter Fighting Irish.sixpack
- Start date
He should’ve been cut when we hired Barbay. Could’ve been more attractive to a transfer without him and his inflated stats on the roster.
Backup QB would’ve been fine. The QB for this offense has been on the field.
We have run off some very, very promising QBs in the name of a gimmick offense and this single player. Rogers has no chance of success in any normal passing offense, and I hope Arnett realizes this. It’s promising that we’ve seen the Vandy transfer in some.
Well if nothing else this game will give us plenty to ***** about next week.
We need to get our **** together before next week
Will is going to be fine in this offense. His arm actually looks stronger than in the past.
I hope so, and all…. But his accuracy looks just like it always has past 10 yards.
It was a TD, but Whittemore had to contort his entire body to catch it. That was more on him, I think. Definitely the last one was on Whittwmore…. It was a screen pass he took to the house.
69% for over 200 yards 2 touchdowns and zero interceptions is not chopped liver. No doubt he was a little Rusty and will improve but still that's acceptable
Yep. We still have a lot of idiotic ******* fans.
I really don’t know what Rogers has to do to make some of y’all happy. He was perfectly fine today. I liked the way they mix and matched The two quarterbacks. But Wright didn’t have to throw a pass today, and I doubt he’ll have so many open lanes to run against tougher competition.
He had plenty of open lanes against Kentucky and Florida last year
And the pass rush and windows will only be tighter. Will got about 30 less attempts than he usually gets. Wright did beat Florida and Kentucky last year so he's not chopped liver either. He has play making ability that will simply does not. And he helps our run game simply being on the field. Adds an element that people have to account for. With will snd marks it's like croom. Everyone knows marks is getting it but that's where oline and will has has to make them pay on play action
Wow. I guess that’s one way to look at it.
Is this his all time low for yardage in a game? A game where he didn’t get to throw for 2 yards and get credit for his target doing the rest?
No it doesn’t. In fact, nothing about Rogers is stronger. He’s stagnant and uninspiring.
He hasn’t grown as an athlete or a leader. He’s like a less-athletic Peter Pan.
Fightingfuc*enIrish needs to come to the game and watch Will throw away a ball out of the end zone from the 35 yard-line because his receiver was covered. He has plenty of arm. Mike Wright is a beast. They will be a two-headed monster as the year goes along.
Woody and Pittman made some MAN runs.

OR YOU HAVING A COMPLETE TH0T
In the future when we bring Wright in, I hope we ditch the dumb gimmick with sending Rogers out wide. Could not be more of a dead giveaway that the play is going to the complete opposite side of the field from the one he’s on.
Literally nothing about Will Rogers is “monster.” He’s flat fresca.
Defense started a little slow but otherwise we looked pretty solid in all phases. First game with a new staff and all. Minimum of penalties, solid special teams. Well coached team in my opinion. No point in bashing Will. He is our guy for this year. About the only really negative thing I saw was the number of empty seats, especially on the East side.
His arm is plenty strong. So I‘be been told by these message board posters.
He wasn’t “perfectly fine.” He overthrew the deep ball all day AND missed wide open receivers all day by throwing to the wrong receiver. On top of that, at least half of his actual completions (not the extended handoff variety) were behind his receivers and/or high. Most all of his throws were late to guys that were wide *** open before he held it a second too long.
He was “perfectly fine” for a true freshman or sophomore against a lower division school. He was damn near awful for a fourth year, senior QB that has EVERYTHING to prove. He just doesn’t have the physical skill set needed and you can watch him overthinking in the pocket.
Will, with an assist from the Oline, sets the ceiling for this team at 7 regular season wins. The floor is 4, unfortunately.
I don’t know how old you are, but I’ve lived through some really poor looking qb’s and offenses here at MSU. Will is in the upper tier and part of it is due to his accuracy and leadership. Someone can correct me, but I was at the game when Mike Henig threw 7 int’s in one game. I’ve seen us struggle to complete a screen pass. And no, I don’t think he played great today.
These people would damn near pray for a loss just so they could come on here and tell you how right they are about how bad Will Rogers is. It reminds me of Dallas fans complaining about Dak. It’s pathetic.
He was off today missing the guy who gave him a chance to play college football and taught him how to be a quarterback in his system. He was not on the sidelines. I expected him to be flat, not as flat as in the first half. He made some decent throws just before halftime and in the second half. No matter what he says, you can see his head and heart was not in the game today. I hope it's a good learning experience for him.
I'd be upset if we were only throwing the ball like we used to be on offense. But we were able to run the ball very well. I wonder how long ago it was since the last time we were able to run the ball for as many yards and scores.
I don't particularly appreciate leaving QB #! in the game when we bring in our other QB #2. It's just too gimmicky. The entire first half we were a little bit too cutesy with our playcalling. It didn't allow anybody to get an offensive rhythm in the game.

That’s just it. The past is the past and we have fans that are still happy with 5/6 win seasons while others want a consistently good team. I thank Will for all he’s done but just not sure he elevates our team.
I really think you should go with "Deleted" for your standard post. It's more informative.

No we just want better for our program. We compete in the hardest conference in college football. Not the fcs. When you play with the best, you don't have time to figure it out.
Cutesy stuff is what this OC does based upon what I’ve seen from today and his App Staye games. He’s got all kinds of presnap movement and players crossing the backfield. It kinda reminds me of an unrefined Lane Kiffin offense.
Punting and kickoffs left a lot to be desired. Punting average of 37.2 and zero touchbacks on 7 kickoffs
The fact that you just compared Rogers with Dak tells me just how untethered from reality you really are.
That’s not as insightful as you seem to think. If Mike Wright can’t match Will’s passing then he won’t start. I mean, if Rogers sucks then they should be easy to do. I watched Wright score no TDs.
I don't know any fans that are "happy" with 5 and 6 win seasons. And Will hasn't produced that.
He's 17-10 in the last two seasons plus this game.
He's 17-7 vs teams not named Alabama & Georgia. I'll take that because it might not be peak Mississippi State, but it's good to very good Mississippi State.
If Mike Wright is better than Will Rogers, I hope he takes the job and runs with it.
